BlockBeats news, October 10, according to the Financial Times, OpenAI is pursuing a largely untested corporate structure to protect itself from hostile takeovers and protect CEO Sam Altman from external interference. The artificial intelligence startup received $6.6 billion in new financing last week and is planning to reorganize into a public benefit corporation (Public Benefit Corporation). Several people familiar with the company's thinking said that a key benefit of this PBC structure is that it has the potential to prevent unwanted acquisitions or demands from activists. This means that existing investors, such as Microsoft or other parties, may be frustrated if they try to acquire OpenAI. OpenAI's PBC structure will be obligated to balance the best interests of shareholders, the public interest, and stakeholders such as employees and society. A person familiar with the matter said that this approach to the company's "multi-pronged fiduciary obligations" will provide OpenAI with a "safe harbor" to avoid the influence of activists who may claim that the company is not profitable enough.
